notice the previous line ...Why would I care to fool you or anybody else?
Actually what the phrase 'get over yourself' means is that the other person
is making themselves more important
to the one saying the phrase then they are.
Why on earth would I want to fool Gimmie or you
and why on earth do you and he keep insinuating I'm lying?
oh wait I know why ...
transparent ... it gets old.
Maybe Democrats just toss around the lying thing for just about everything
I've been wondering about this, seems a a repetitive theme.
Would you say our President lies? Or is that exclusive to the party you do not favor?
I don't know, because trolls like to see themselves in print.
I don't know if he lies. I also don't vote down party lines. In Canada, I have voted for every major party over the last few elections, based on their performance and their promises and their believability. But Canada's political climate is not anywhere near the volatility level it is in the States. Sure, Conservatives and Liberals have their differences, but they are so much closer together than the Dem's and the Rep's it's not even close.
I don't even watch Canadian debates. They are a waste of my time. It's nothing but a cock fight.
Lying amongst democrats is a repetitive theme? Dear god woman, you say some doozies on here, but that is just plain stupid to say.

That's probably a good description. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anyone who votes based on whether the VP interrupted or the other VP candidate drank too much water...is not taking the political issues of the campaign seriously or voting on anything that matters.
I doubt anyone cares how much water the nervous young man drank but there may be some
who don't want an ass in office
that was another one I heard ...
'Biden lived up to the Democrat Logo'
If people don't want an ass in office, they better vote for my write-in candidates, 'cause you'd be hard pressed to find a politician that's not an ass.

trolls I would say you fit the script here... constantly going off topic making it all about me...
calling me a liar, being insulting and arrogant... watch the guidelines please and as the mods have said ignore
and stick to topic or you will get the thread locked.
and no claiming others are lying :? you know calling the "lying thing" of their opponents.
But I see American politics and being rude to Americans is not a waste of your time...
alrighty then.
Do you have anything to add to the topic that is not about me?
:nono: you told me to get over myself. more condescention from you, which is a shock.
normally i would not even waste my time to replying, but i just have to reply to this.
you say are one of the most honest posters on here??? i and many others think you are being disingenuous when you say that you are undecided. i think that you are looking for any reason whatsoever to justify voting for ryan and romney. i have seen you bash obama and now biden numerous times on these forums in ways that would make it seem inconceivable that you would even be remotely considering giving them "another four".
i would think that someone who is on here as often as you are, who apparently reads all of these threads on here everyday, and posts in all of said threads would have an idea of how they are voting.. you are either with obama or you are with romney. there has never been a more stark difference in any campaign that i have ever followed. you either want more moderate supreme court nominees that you would get from obama, or you want more scalia types that you would get from romney. you are either hot or cold, not lukewarm. what is to decide????
i do not understand undecided voters. i never will. do they like the attention of both candidates pandering to them? or is it the old "sheep" theory? people want to vote for a winner and they do not want to vote for the loser, or they wait until someone is running away with the election and they will vote for them to vote for the winner. just like how sheep flock together, undecideds flock to the side where the most voters are going.
frankly i don't care how they vote. chances are, if they do not know who they are voting for this late in the game that are low information voters, or they do not really care who wins. and no, i do not know what it is like to be torn. i know the issues and i know who would be better for the country. that's it. i will not allow myself to be put into a postion where i am torn. that is why i do my due dilligence before entering any voting booth.
biden went into this debate to say things that obama could not say. he was there to do the dirty work of the president. and biden did a fantastic job of hammering ryan and romney on most topics. and contrary to popular belief, the vice presidency is actually pretty important. the vice president is the deciding vote if the senate is tied 50-50. i know who i trust to make those deciding votes and who i don't trust to make those votes.
You seem to pretty much always respond to me.
Have you also heard my words about the praise for our President?
Have you heard that I believe our Presidents need
more than four to get the job done?
That I wonder about rocking the boat now with an administration change?
Well I'm glad you are honest and say you do not understand Independent voters.
We are the middle of the road with mixed beliefs that fit neither party,
we are without bias for either side.
Our voting record is neither red nor blue. Funny I think the people who follow
the color are the sheep. Its those damn red and blue glasses.
Vote for the winner really? thats funny cause as an Independent I have not always been so lucky,
have you as a true blue baaaa?
Have you ever voted for a Republican? You say you know what is better for the country
is that always a blue, or most always blue?
So then it has nothing to do with being informed it has to do with party lines.
So try not to act superior to those who are actually unbiased towards both parties.
Biden was a rude jerk. The split screen showed tactics of a desperate man who
couldn't rely on good basic information to try to conquer his opponent.
His tactic was to distract ...
hmmmm
come to think of it is that what the White House has done about
our most recent tragedy?
some people vote down party lines no matter what that party's platform is. that's what you call sheep. there are others who generally fall in line with the philisophies of one party or the other, as I said before, since the parties are usually so different. calling someone biased because of their personal belief system is ignorant, not to mention incredibly hypocritical based on your posts in theological topics.
people who are undecided at this point generally fit into one of these two categories:
1) uninformed

How is making an observation about the state of american politics insulting and rude to americans? I think it's pretty obvious to anyone that the parties in the states are way farther apart on policies than canadian politics.

Read my post. I never said Canadian POLITICS is a waste of my time. I said the DEBATES are. I didn't watch either of the american debates either. As I said, I think debates are a waste of time. I watched Clint at the RNC because I was switching channels and it was on, so I kept it there.
And saying I'm rude to Americans is baseless and stupid.

funny stuff you can no longer see when you are rude...
should we call that the Biden syndrome now works for me
Yes this does sound like something you would think......
Oh yeah? What would you know about this? (Note: rhetorical question - no answer required).
Biden is now a coward... wow...
Moving on....
But, if you make your choices based on a TV sideshow, judging people in less than 2 hours based on an interruption, a hesitation, a frown or a smile, a drop of sweat too many falling from the forehead, etc - that is up to you.
As far as I am concerned, policies, their credence, how they plan to achieve these and the impact of these proposed policies are my point of reference for choosing a president.

But to each their own. Again... moving on....
Stop making light.. a interruptiona frown or a smile
too funny...
tough to justify bad behavior :fp:
he acted like a wacko on purpose to distract those watching from listening to his opponent,
not once or twice but continuously throughout the debate.
Again we know if Ryan behaved like this towards Biden he'd be attacked by the blues
but they won't admit that.

just jump right in there again your opinion, of course.
My opinion and it seems many watching and those talking in the media
it's a great way to learn about the candidates...
and boy did we :fp:
I learned Biden is a horses ass
nah, because most people understand that a debate is a show, and nothing more.
Exactly. This is not where you will get any valid info about either candidate/party. If you want to inform yourself on policies and such you go elsewhere.
A show, and a poor one too. Target the 'masses'. Content does not matter.

How our elected officials treat another human being is very important.
Showing consideration, integrity, fair play, good sportmenship,
these come into play in these debates.
Some just don't get how important that is I guess.
This is added of course to where they stand on policy.
Interaction in the world arena is very important,
this speaks volumes to who that person is and what is going on inside their head.
Biden showed little if any good qualities and if he treats others like he did Ryan
he should not be representing in our second in command position.
But again for some people good qualities are not as important as to others.

I'm not so sure Biden will be forgotten. I won't forget, I will always know now when I see him
what he is truly like, nothing like I thought he was. He is a smug guy, he could have been
forceful with respect, kindness and knowledge. He didn't have to present like that.
I agree about Clint, he was my high point also.
Looking forward to tomorrow night. I love Obama's speeches perhaps he will be on his game.
Good for you that you won't forget and from one tv debate you have figured out how he's truly like, well again good for you. He resides in the Naval Observatory not the White House and he doesn't lead this nation the President does, no one really thinks of the VP as leading this nation, the closest he gets to anything by leading this nation is standing next to the President.
Peace
No really? I thought he was in the bedroom next to Michelle and Barack
yes and how many times did I say 2nd in command?
Saw a good one in the media ... 'after Biden's debate we better pray for Obama's good health'
too true.
The water thing was so funny...did you see SNL skit?
funny stuff ...
To compare being a young nervous politician first time on stage like this to a senior and
2nd in command yikes! well one would think that senior would have been
a great example of a leader and a debater. He looked like a fool, though...
Who would have ever thunk it
I think it is very important issue because Biden is in the White House, he represents us,
he leads us. His presence, his persona, is an example of what we believe in to the rest
of the world. I guess we believe it's all a big f'n joke...
or is that just him being wacky? Nice....
Above....This is what you said to me and what I responded to. I must have missed it but I've never seen in this thread where you mentioned he was 2nd in command. To me He might have been obnoxious but that was his job to get down and dirty and he did it well. Somebody had to do the dirty work and Biden he was handed the job...that's the world of politics...there's no crying or whining in the political relm.
Obama's health is and will be just fine have you not seen that spot on lefty jump shot of his and he can hit a bank shot too? Swish 2 points.

Well... I guess some here would say Romney held himself well during the TV debate/show. Guess for some that would mean he has the skills and is the right person for 'interaction in the world arena'.
Couldn't be more wrong! His gaffes and blunders when he was in Europe made him a laughing stock. He was considered 'devoid of charm, warmth, humour and sincerity.' And, guess what, ill-mannered and offensive.
So I guess that debunks the theory of 'good performance on TV' = good statemanship!

I don't want to go back and hunt yes I mentioned he is 2nd in command a few times.
I think that is a very important position no?
If Biden is an example we should expect no common courtesy, consideration or respect
either I guess. So you feel our President will behave as Biden did tonight?
No? because our President expected his right hand man to do the dirty work
and be disrespectful then? Really? they needed to do that to work a debate in their favor?
Alrighty then :fp:
I expect more...
like intelligent responses based in fact and policy, not funny faces and hystrical laughter...

This post is 'open' to all.....
When was his visit you speak of?
Wow... you are well informed and keep yourself abreast of what is happening with the candidates....
Then again, I guess he didn't mention his 'mishaps' during the debate....
I'd like to know when you speak of not what I know dear
Dear? A bit patronising, are we?
You'd like to know when I speak? I talk all the time. Shall I raise my hand before I do so, so you are aware of the fact?
You are trying to deflect again. I debunked your point, you are trying to circumvent this. End of.
This new 'catchphrase' of yours that you seem to have latched on - this 'Biden' thing in your past several responses. Drawing parallels between him and several posters. I guess you like to think this is clever and witty. An ' inside joke. But it is all so transparent - an underhanded insult. We know what you think of him - a horse's ass. Not so clever anymore is it? No wit there. You are just too obvious.
Oh.. Here I should insert the mandatory winky guy to make it all OK!

I don't know if he lies. I also don't vote down party lines. In Canada, I have voted for every major party over the last few elections, based on their performance and their promises and their believability. But Canada's political climate is not anywhere near the volatility level it is in the States. Sure, Conservatives and Liberals have their differences, but they are so much closer together than the Dem's and the Rep's it's not even close.
I don't even watch Canadian debates. They are a waste of my time. It's nothing but a cock fight.

How is making an observation about the state of american politics insulting and rude to americans? I think it's pretty obvious to anyone that the parties in the states are way farther apart on policies than canadian politics.

I have a feeling many are waiting for the debates to finish
and now we have the Libya thing... looking bad for the current administration....
yes?
not negative or smug. just my own personal opinion.

Read my post. I never said Canadian POLITICS is a waste of my time. I said the DEBATES are. I didn't watch either of the american debates either. As I said, I think debates are a waste of time. I watched Clint at the RNC because I was switching channels and it was on, so I kept it there.
And saying I'm rude to Americans is baseless and stupid.

should we call that the Biden syndrome now
Oh yeah? What would you know about this? (Note: rhetorical question - no answer required).
Biden is now a coward... wow...
Moving on....
But, if you make your choices based on a TV sideshow, judging people in less than 2 hours based on an interruption, a hesitation, a frown or a smile, a drop of sweat too many falling from the forehead, etc - that is up to you.
As far as I am concerned, policies, their credence, how they plan to achieve these and the impact of these proposed policies are my point of reference for choosing a president.
But to each their own. Again... moving on....
too funny...
tough to justify bad behavior :fp:
he acted like a wacko on purpose to distract those watching from listening to his opponent,
not once or twice but continuously throughout the debate.
Again we know if Ryan behaved like this towards Biden he'd be attacked by the blues
but they won't admit that.
nah, because most people understand that a debate is a show, and nothing more.

hmmmm....
just jump right in there
My opinion and it seems many watching and those talking in the media
it's a great way to learn about the candidates...
and boy did we :fp:
I learned Biden is a horses ass
Exactly. This is not where you will get any valid info about either candidate/party. If you want to inform yourself on policies and such you go elsewhere.
A show, and a poor one too. Target the 'masses'. Content does not matter.
HFD... could you be....................interrupting???????
well, that is how an internet forum works........well for those that aren't just talking to ourselves......

Showing consideration, integrity, fair play, good sportmenship,
these come into play in these debates.
Some just don't get how important that is I guess.
This is added of course to where they stand on policy.
Interaction in the world arena is very important,
this speaks volumes to who that person is and what is going on inside their head.
Biden showed little if any good qualities and if he treats others like he did Ryan
he should not be representing in our second in command position.
But again for some people good qualities are not as important as to others.
hey is that Biden syndrome too? ... oh boy is it catchy?
how politicians act on TV is not, and should not be, representative of how they act in real life. it's a very calculated SHOW.

Above....This is what you said to me and what I responded to. I must have missed it but I've never seen in this thread where you mentioned he was 2nd in command. To me He might have been obnoxious but that was his job to get down and dirty and he did it well. Somebody had to do the dirty work and Biden he was handed the job...that's the world of politics...there's no crying or whining in the political relm.
Obama's health is and will be just fine have you not seen that spot on lefty jump shot of his and he can hit a bank shot too? Swish 2 points.

Yes that is true it IS a calculated SHOW therefore why both candidates for the presidency prep for DAYS.

Well... I guess some here would say Romney held himself well during the TV debate/show. Guess for some that would mean he has the skills and is the right person for 'interaction in the world arena'.
Couldn't be more wrong! His gaffes and blunders when he was in Europe made him a laughing stock. He was considered 'devoid of charm, warmth, humour and sincerity.' And, guess what, ill-mannered and offensive.
So I guess that debunks the theory of 'good performance on TV' = good statemanship!
This post is 'open' to all.....
I think that is a very important position no?
If Biden is an example we should expect no common courtesy, consideration or respect
either I guess. So you feel our President will behave as Biden did tonight?
No? because our President expected his right hand man to do the dirty work
and be disrespectful then? Really? they needed to do that to work a debate in their favor?
Alrighty then :fp:
I expect more...
like intelligent responses based in fact and policy, not funny faces and hystrical laughter...
just me I guess
Wow... you are well informed and keep yourself abreast of what is happening with the candidates....
Then again, I guess he didn't mention his 'mishaps' during the debate....
Good answer do you avoid facts like Biden does? ... it is catchy...
I'd like to know when you speak of not what I know dear
Dear? A bit patronising, are we?
You'd like to know when I speak? I talk all the time. Shall I raise my hand before I do so, so you are aware of the fact?
You are trying to deflect again. I debunked your point, you are trying to circumvent this. End of.
This new 'catchphrase' of yours that you seem to have latched on - this 'Biden' thing in your past several responses. Drawing parallels between him and several posters. I guess you like to think this is clever and witty. An ' inside joke. But it is all so transparent - an underhanded insult. We know what you think of him - a horse's ass. Not so clever anymore is it? No wit there. You are just too obvious.
Oh.. Here I should insert the mandatory winky guy to make it all OK!
